1. Literature WHAT?

2. Expository Environment is highly complex and integrated…The problem of measuring those physical conditions that really govern plant behavior is much more difficult than is commonly conceived…The intensity of most factors varies with the hour, day, and season, and the rates of change, the durations of particular intensities…The common practice of integrating measurements taken over a period of time as mean values may obscure very important time aspects of factor variation. Plants and Environment by R. F. Daubenmire Explains “About” Objective Abstract Analyzes Ideas Sciences

3. Literary: Narrative The dawn creeps in stealthily; the solid walls of black forest soften to gray, and vast stretches of the river open up and reveal themselves; the water is glass-smooth, gives off spectral wreaths of white mist; there is not the faintest breath of wind, nor stir of leaf; the tranquility is profound and infinitely satisfying…Well, that is all beautiful; soft and rich and beautiful; and when the sun gets well up, and distributes a pink flush here and a powder of gold yonder and a purple haze where it will yield the best effect, you grant that you have seen something that is worth remembering. Mark Twain Describes Shows Subjective Concrete Experiences Images Literature

4. Literary: Poetry Come live with me and be my love, And we will all the pleasures prove That valleys, groves, hills, and fields, Woods or steepy mountain yields. And we will sit upon the rocks, Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks, By shallow rivers to whose falls Melodious birds sing madrigals. And I will make thee beds of roses And a thousand fragrant posies, A cap of flowers, and a kirtle Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle; A gown made of the finest wool Which from our pretty lambs we pull; Fair lined slippers for the cold, With buckles of th purest gold; A belt of straw and ivy buds, With coral clasps and amber studs: And if these pleasures may thee move, Come live with me and be my love. The shepherds' swains shall dance and sing For thy delight each May morning: If these delights thy mind may move, Then live with me and be my love. The Passionate Shepherd to His Love Christopher Marlowe

5. Justification: Expository All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed, for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. Romans 3:24-26 (NAS) Sinned Justified Grace Redemption Propitiation Faith Righteousness forbearance

6. Justification: Literary Narrative Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself: “God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.” But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, “God, be merciful to me, the sinner!” I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted. Luke 18:10-14 (NAS) Men Temple Pray Pharisee Tax collector People Tithes Fast week Eyes Breast House

7. Justification: Literary Poetry 10 He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. 11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; 12 as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. 13 As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. 14 For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust. Psalm 103 heavens earth east west father children frame dust
